Pumpkin Pie Wontons
Recipe by: Vegetarian Times

Makes 16; 30 minutes or fewer
These are from Vegetarian Times and they look great! I have not tried them yet, and will not have time to before Thanksgiving, but I wanted to get them posted before that. So sorry these are not tried and true, but I think they would be fantastic, and a unique twist.
These dessert wontons are a great way to serve pumpkin pie individually. Look for packaged wonton wrappers in Asian grocery stores. Be careful–many of them are not vegan.
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 Tbs. maple syrup
3 Tbs. light brown sugar
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
16 packaged wonton wrappers
Granulated sugar for dusting
Ground cinnamon for dusting
Preheat oven to 400F. In medium bowl, mix pumpkin, maple syrup, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
Place one wonton wrapper flat on work surface. Spoon 1 Tbs. filling into center. Moisten edges of wonton with water and fold in half to form triangle. Press edges to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wontons.
Arrange filled wontons on ungreased baking sheet. Lightly coat wontons with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle each with sugar and cinnamon.
Bake until golden, about 16 minutes. Turn and bake 2 more minutes. Set baking sheet on wire rack to cool.

I made these several weeks ago for a family gathering. Made the recipe as stated, but found out that after baking and cooling, the wonton pi was still chewy (not cooked well). So I ended up having to fry it in a little bit of oil (like how wonton pi is usually cooked). Everyone was a little skeptical at first, but LOVED it once they tried it!
